Sounds and pounds of clay

In weekly classes at City Arts in downtown Wichita, JaiDe Brown teaches transfiguration. Brown helps students transform 25-pound bags of clay into all kinds of pottery with a wheel, some water and the strength of their hands. It's just one of more than a half-dozen art forms taught in the studio and gallery spaces at City Arts. KMUW's Meg Britton-Mehlisch paid Brown's class a visit and captured this Soundscape.

Meg Britton-Mehlisch is a general assignment reporter for KMUW and the Wichita Journalism Collaborative. She began reporting for both in late 2024.
